I found a Minecraft hosting option called Stellara Servers and it is meant to run smooth even when you use mods and plugins.
It seems good for a survival world with friends or if you want to grow a bigger community server. The big focus is fast hardware so there is low lag and stable TPS.
It also has a simple control panel plus instant setup so your server is ready quick. They also say support is helpful and responds fast. There is a first month discount code mentioned too if you want to try it.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSageCraft Factions With Classic Cannons On Modern Minecraft
SageCraft offers a different take on factions by moving away from the usual pay to win 1.8.9 setup. The server focuses on providing a fairer and more modern experience. It runs on a current Minecraft version while still supporting traditional 1.8 style cannons. This is made possible through months of work with a custom cannoning jar, allowing your familiar cannon designs to function on the newer version. If you enjoy factions and cannoning but want to play on an up to date Minecraft version without losing your old cannon knowledge, SageCraft is built for that experience.
